Why We Take Care of Property: Planet of the Ticklebops (1975)

Once there was a small planet on nice. Everyone on nice lived loose with glass bubbles on top. The bubbles gave light, kept out the rain, and made everyone feel cozy inside their cocoons. Hi, I'm Vandal. Life on planet Nice was really nice. Vandal and everyone else on Nice was very proud of their planet. They took good care of things because well, actually, they didn't really know why. Vandal, don't forget to leave your room nice and tidy. Tidy and nice. Yeah, Mom. Yeah, Dad. Vandal, did you? It's all really clean. Honest. Good boy, Vandal. Bye, [Music] Mom. Hey, Darene. Every morning, Randall hurried out to meet his best friend. Come on, Vandal. Let's go down to the tickle boppery. Tickle boppinging was the main sport on Planet Nice. Tickle bops were kept at the free public tickle bobbery where from time to time they were recharged, repainted in the body shop and had their air filters replaced and handlebars realigned. The last step in the tuneup was a thorough oiling and then they were ready to be tickled pink. Hey, this one really has a good sense of humor. Look, look, Vandal, mine is already turning pink. You do. I do. I do. Oh god. Look. Me too. You got to Yeah. Like that. You got it. That's it. Yahoo. Yay. [Music] Every tickle bobbing day, Vandal and Darene stop to draw themselves a [Music] snack. Always throw trash in the tulips. [Music] Don't you ever get fed up. What? Always having to be so clean and tidy. Well, we do have to take care of things. Why? Why? I don't know. Hi, Vandal. Hi, Darene. Hi, lady. Have a heart. They're nice and sweet. Gee, thanks. You sure got a terrific garden. Oh, raising plants is just a question of sweet talk. Isn't that right, cutie? Come to me my melanch up and down [Music] blue. No hand easy. [Music] One day, Darene had an idea. Hey, Vandal. Yeah. No one's around. So, let's play bop the bubble. What's that? Do you see those bubbles? Yeah. You got to bop up and get the top bubble without knocking over the ones underneath. But but suppose we miss a break something. Vandal, we're just two little kids. As long as everyone else takes care of things, it wouldn't matter if we didn't, right? Well, come on. I'll go first. Your turn. [Music] Come on, let's get out of here. [Music] Good night, Sarine. See you tomorrow, Van. I call her home. [Music] Hi. Hi. Nobody saw. Guess not. Boy, you sure looked funny when you popped that bubble. You should have seen the expression in your face when the bubble popped. Pop popped. Let's do it again. T I don't know. Come on. You're going to let one bad bop let you down? Oh, I just don't think we should. [Music] Got it. Me too. Me too. Me too. It's very hard. Takes years of practice. Alen. Perfect thing. Talent. Guts. Me too. Me too. [Music] Gee, that is really something. You I know what to call baby. You are brilliant. [Applause] They don't fit, do they? No, Vandal. What are you so upset for? It's just a thing. Tickle box time. What's up? Huh? Huh? Closed on account of no more money. Huh? Yeah. Can't afford to fix the bobs. cuz we spend too much buying new bubbles and just ain't enough money for everything I gear. They can't do that. They can't take away our dickband. What do you [Music] chicken bubbles? I'll never forget old Darene murder. [Music] No, not my bubbles. So, we might want to lose. Cut it out. Let's go. Coming, Bandal. Nah. See you tomorrow. Oh, see you. My cocoon. [Music] ready to go pop some bubbles. No, it isn't fun anymore. My hat is ruined. Big deal. It's just a thing. It's my thing. So what? I bet you got something you care about. That's different. It is not. And besides, just look around. The planet isn't nice anymore. [Music] Little by little, everyone began taking care of the planet again. Cattle up and down, baby. All right. Sometimes though, he did feel like smashing things. Yippee. So they built a special smasheroon pit. That is how the game of bowling was invented. From then on things were really nice again. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music]
